I've often thought that micro-services were more of a software engineering management solution rather than a technical one. From the perspective of a high-level architect it makes delegating certain types of responsibility a bit easier

Hopefully this is the correct math for their example 1: (1 * 2 * 0.00021167 * (600/60) * 30) + (1 * 1 * 0.00084333 * (600/60) * 30) = 0.380001 Because that's much better than the original: (1 * 2 * 0.00021167 * (600) * 30) +

Ah yes, that makes much more sense. Hopefully they will update the pricing page with the correct values soon :)

Looking through the pricing page I'm not sure what sort of workload this would make sense for. Just looking at the examples from the pricing page I think I'm getting sticker shock. - https://aws.amazon.com/fargate&

For large code bases in dynamic languages I think the advantage grows larger over time. Even a modest amount of test coverage will allow you to build new features without breaking existing features. It's a lot faster to catch bugs when

Yup, agree. Depending if you are working with a good static type system or with a dynamic language the value of unit tests can vary. When working with dynamic languages I always end up writing a bunch of unit tests and a bunch of integratio

If you want to create a large number of Objects (like for rows in a data set) using __slots__ saves a lot of memory over just using the standard __dict__. I've always used named tuples for this in the past, but this is a nice way to do

I love it! Sublime Text is an excellent editor and I use it every day. It's worth every penny for a paid license.

I think being born white, male, and good at math at this particular time in history is the very definition of luck. I'm definitely playing the game of life on "easy" mode. That being said I think there is a minimum level of e

I really should write a blog post about it :) but right now there isn't one. Debian packages are easy to work with and we keep them as our primary artifact for any given release. The number of cluster nodes varies between 10 and 35 dep

I wonder if there is any possibility of using a newer iteration of Firefox with a configurable number of threads rather than Chrome as the engine for Electron (or something like it). In the browser at least this helps a lot to bring down me

I've been running an Elixir app in production on about 20 nodes for 18 months. We just build Debian packages and deploy using Salt. Additionally, most of the cluster nodes run on Spot Instances in AWS so they are relatively inexpensive

This is pretty exciting, especially the debugger support :)

Doesn't blockchain verification depend on a certain amount of inefficiency? Isn't that what makes forgery difficult?

I've had a few sales jobs where I was employed full-time (w2 not 1099) but also had an employment agreement with a defined term. Most often the term was 1 to 3 years, and if you were going to be let go it would happen when the term was

I'm not so sure they are separate skills. It's possible to write functions that are easy to test and functions that are hard to test. I find that the two tasks of writing functions and tests for those functions are closely intertw

Mine picks up the stationary vehicles 9 out of 10 times, but you do have to watch it. This happens most frequently at stop-lights on roads where the speed limit is above 55 MPH and I'm approaching the stationary car stopped at the lig

I've had trouble with phone at low temperatures before, even when carried inside my parka, and inside a lifeproof case. Modern smartphones are not made to withstand life threatening temperatures for any length of time. That said, some

Maybe I'm being dense, but why would someone want to write c++ code and transpile it to JavaScript?

These same issues are what drove me to use Linux for my Desktops and Laptops. I don't use it on my MacBooks because the hardware is not supported well, but on a Thinkpad or a Dell it's a first class experience. I definitely pref

Is this for writing tests against? Won't the tests fail if this service is not available? If you need a static response why not save it as a file and have a local temp server respond?

Engineering is usually considered to be concerned with the application of science and math to build systems and solve problems. On a continuum with pure math on one end and applied physics on the other, most things that we think of as engin

I've been using elixir/cowboy/Phoenix for the past few months and it's been great. It seems like the elixir ecosystem is still being built out but there are a lot of erlang libraries to use also.
